ChangeMan Page

ChangeMan ZMF instances are defined for each server where ChangeMan ZMF will be accessed. More than one instance may be defined per server.

Use the ChangeMan tab of the server properties to:

  • Add a new ChangeMan ZMF instance to your server configuration. The new ChangeMan instance will display in File Explorer. ChangeMan instance definitions apply to all users on your computer.

  • Remove a ChangeMan instance from your server configuration.

  • Hide or show a ChangeMan instance. A hidden ChangeMan instance will not appear in the File Explorer or the ZDD user interface. You cannot show a ChangeMan instance if the parent server is hidden. The hidden setting is user-specific and applies to you only. This is useful on a multi-user system that contains servers that you do not use.
